www.GowanusStudio.org/intaglioThe Printmaking Workshop at The Gowanus Studio Space is proud to offer an intaglio printmaking intensive workshop.
Led by printmakers Julia Samuels and Katie Bronson, this workshop will introduce artists and designers to the antiquated art of intaglio printmaking. Developed in Germany and Italy in the 15th Century, intaglio printmaking is beautifully sensitive and versitile art form.
We will learn and practice all the basic forms of intaglio printmaking. Participants will be supplied with everything needed to create 3 practice plates and 1 final print. You don't need to bring a thing with you, but you're encouraged to bring along some design ideas.
